There’s a pallet of corn syrup on its way to South Carolina. The long-awaited sequel to Eli Roth’s aggressively silly but genially brilliant “Cabin Fever” is locked in for a January start date in the area, and we’ve been informed that casting begins this month. Scooper ‘Sandy’ tells us that auditions are taking place, and the breakdowns suggest that the film centres on a group of all-new characters. “Though I believe Robert Harris, who played Old Man Cadwell in the first film, has been signed to reprise his role, so there will be a link to the first film”. The studio wasn’t brave enough to forge ahead with Roth’s idea for a sequel – “My concept for the sequel was a Song of the South-style half-animated film where Deputy Winston sings songs (ones I was forced to learn in Hebrew school) to imaginary creatures in his head, and has sex with the burned, rotted corpses of everyone who died in the original, but they didn’t go for it” Roth said. – so from what I can gather, they’re heading into ‘rehash’ territory instead.
